• 7.0 Status
  • DSF/GDB parity (Marc)
    • progress is good but slowing
    • Need to prioritize what's left, do big things by RC0, littler "bugs" by release, and then even to Sept's 7.0.1.
    • Engage the community via the newsgroup to get beta testers and to help with prioritization
  • Supported toolchains (Doug)
    • We should finally defined a set of recommended version line ups for gcc for the various hosts we support
    • Document it in the user docs, and on the web site
    • Define versions for Cygwin, MinGW (Wascana), select Linux distros, Mac.
  • New & Noteworthy (Doug)
    • Doug to start and get input from team

• EclipseCon Recap
  • A good time was had by all
  • Hope more can make it next time
  • A great place to meet other CDT contributors and even a few users and learn about other Eclipse technologies

• CDT Summit
  • We skipped last year due to travel restrictions
  • It would be good to start it up again this year
    • again in the fall (late Sept?) before going too deep into next release
  • Need an agenda and a location
  • Agenda items could include:
    • Debug wars part deux (DSF/GDB versus DSF/EDC/TCF versus Flex Hierarchy/EDC2/TCF or something)
    • Codan checker-fest
    • Supporting real developers, CDT as an end-user IDE rather than platform, e.g. Wascana, Mac, Qt, Linux, Embedded-cross
    • What to do with profiling/trace
  • Locations could include anywhere but best if one of the vendors host
    • We've done Ottawa and Toronto in the past. Austin is another idea.
  • Who can make it?
